Do you suggest to use a custom kernel with this rom if yes which one?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Yes it's the same (I think). The thing was before with the pre RC3 I was messing around with bionic to get it to build with GCC 4.8 toolchain. Then I went back to check bionic once more before building RC3 and made sure everything looked OK. So the builds might very slightly. If the pre build works good I'd say just stay on that bro.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Let us know how it goes :)

The kernel attached to the OP is functional. The one in my previous post is not. That was a test kernel built with GCC 4.8 toolchain that doesn't boot.

Honestly I don't have a preference on that. Any kernel of your choice should work fine.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
The one in the op is still the old 4.7 GCC yes?

Thanks, it's going to take months. Two damns broke a water treatment plant was taken out, then all the water came down to our town and went right down our street :screwy:

Here's a YouTube of my street. Not the first neighborhood but the second one. Also the channel 4 news van was right outside our house last night.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
I'll probably just wait for 4.4 kk... I have to get housing and everything through FEMA. And I might get the n5 when it launches...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Yeah I'll most likely wait on Google to restock the shelf before buying the N5.

I mean I love my N4....don't get me wrong. But the issues it has with very poor/slow WiFi speeds I may just pass on Nexus all together.

Sent from my Freaked Out NeXuS⁴
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
I would wait for restock but SaberMod on the n5 right after launch would be nice. And a new platform. I'll probably just give my n4 to my oldest daughter with sm-1.0.1 on it for Christmas.

want sabermod back! how can i help you sparksco?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rudjgaard:
Hi, I read in the previous posts about the difficulties OP is going through and feel unsure if i should ask for help.

Just know that my approach is with outmost respect for the situation

I would like to introduce saber to the lg p880 community. I'm not a total novice, but still quite a noob when it comes to figuring out uncommon elements.

My doubt is about the kernel, do i have to add the cm kernel tree for my device to the dafault.xml for build with saber kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Afaik saber-kernel is only for mako,.

P880 has a complete different chipset so I don't see a big chance to make it a saber kernel.

So you might be able to create a sabermod rom for the p880, but only with a "normal" kernel....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah what I would suggest doing is just use the most stable kernel out there. You can probably still add -O3 to the main Makefile. Just look at the Makefile file history to see the commits and changes.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rudjgaard:
I know about the different chipsets, that's why i was dubious that just adding kernel source to default xml would work

I'll try to add the o3 toolchain and see if that works though i read around about it breaking compilation with error 41...

Oh well, just gotta type in those commands and see what pops out! ;)

I really appreciate your kind support in these hard times

cheers
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] technojinn:
anyone has a download link to the default kernel that came with SM?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
You mean the one in the OP?

http://stskernelmako.sourceforge.net/
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah it's pretty obvious :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rudjgaard:
there's a problem is in the manifest where 4.9 revision specifies 501d8e25aab57ac36c4206464572dac26a565b5e

Changing toolchain revision to master in the manifest fixes sync error
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hicks12:
hope you get your home sorted sparksco I had wondered why there hadnt been an update in awhile, its a very good Rom and if you do get a Nexus 5 I cant wait to try your Rom on that side ( if you get chance!) as I want to feel the power of Saber again.

Going to flash RC4 again mind because i am pretty sure its faster than my current ROM.

All the best mate :).

PS: I appreciate your work!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
You can just use sm-jb-mr2 also..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] carepack:
hi sparksco,

a guy was building a rom with sm toolchain 4.9

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2459964

maybe it helps to get my lovely sabermod back!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
That's just stock AOSP with xposed built in and SM Toolchain. You can use xposed on any ROM and you'll be missing a lot of features from sm-1.0.1
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Got some more bad news guys. Renters insurance doesn't cover flood and I'm not sure if my computer was damaged at all yet... My LCD monitor is OK though. Keyboard and mouses are cheap. Computer not so much.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] carepack:
i know. i don' care about xposed framework. i thought you had much problems to build with sm toolchain 4.9 when android 4.3 was released. Or I'm wrong?

So I thought maybe you and the guy from the other project can help each other
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Demonseye:
Tough luck :( Hope your computer's okay...

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah that's cool guys. I'm not the person to ask for things. I'm staying at one of the FEMA hotels and I don't have any room right now to use a computer. I still have to find my computer power cord or just get a new one if I cant find it, and see if it works. If it doesn't I might be able to salvage the ram and other parts that are not damaged. The most I worry about is the motherboard. So once I find a new place to live and everything I'll know more. This is all just a big long process and so I'm just trying to stay on my feet for now and get things figured out. Looks like I'll probably be staying in a larger city for a change that's closer to my work.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MikeCriggs:
[MENTION=2394329]sparksco[/MENTION] If you need help on sm-jb-mr2, I can fork and update your repos to r3.1 and merge their remote upstreams. If there's anything else I can do for you, just shoot me a PM. I'd be glad to help you push a release of 4.3 before 4.4 drops.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Sure thing it's only been a week since I received financial assistance to find a place to live. Not much time since I normally work 6 days a week now and still living at the hotel (free of charge) with no PC or git access. Also if you need help pm me here or hangouts. Cheers.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] carepack:
stupid question sm toolchain 4.9

where do I find this toolchain? searched around for a while but nothing found!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
It's on sm github. If you do a Google search for "sm toolchain" you can see what all Roms are utilizing it.

https://github.com/SaberMod/android...rmod-arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/tree/sm-jb-mr2

The toolchain is the front end compiler for c and c++ programing languages in android. The most stable one was built 5 months ago with gcc 4.9. After that gnu gcc started putting more experimental code in that made 4.9 unusable for -O3 optimizations. That's why the current toolchain hasn't been updated. Once I get a PC and a place to work on things I'll try to compile a updated toolchain. Or if someone else wants to give a shot at compiling a new toolchain I can help via messenger like hangouts or something... It is a little more difficult in a lot of ways to build a android toolchain compared to building the android OS.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MikeCriggs:
Definitely man.

Ping me on hangouts: michael.s.corigliano@gmail.com

I set up a GIT already here: https://github.com/SaberModKang

Just need to fork your 847493 repos :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] perfoliate:
Just wanted to say thanks again sparksco for your toolchain. It really makes ROMs fly! :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hicks12:
Hey sparksco just wanted to reiterate that I love your work, when I said I was going g back to your rom I wasn't joking g, it's so fast and good on the battery. Hope you still get a nexus 5 as I finally decided it's a day one upgrade lol would love you over there as well especially with 4.4 to work with.

Good luck recovering from the flood, at least your insurance has kicked in a bit :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Thanks but my renters insurance only covers theft or fire. Only thing for flood is flood insurance which I didn't have :(

Luckily FEMA has given me one grant for rental assistance and they are probably going to give me another one for my property. Hopefully it will be enough to cover any damage that might have occurred to my PC and LCD TV I was using as a monitor.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rudjgaard:
Hi guys I hope I can ask your help in solving a few errors when building sm

I managed to solve most of the erros i've encountered so far, but i'm stuck on two I really don't know how to solve

Error 1:

Unresolved link/see tag "#USES_POLICY_ENFORCE_SELINUX" in android.app.admin.DeviceAdminInfo

Error 2:

Unresolved link/see tag "TelephonyManager#NETWORK_TYPE_DCHSPAP TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_DCHSPAP" in android.telephony.NeighboringCellInfo

I added the "use selinux=true" to the device makefile but that didn't do much.

For error nr 2 i did some searching but i only found a solution on a chinese site that i have trouble understanding.

Somebody suggested commenting out the dchspap line or removing the "@hide" but that did not prove useful.

Since i care more about learning than building could you please explain the solution?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MikeCriggs:
What branch? sm-jb-mr2 isn't buildable yet. But you can help me help Paul finish it here: https://github.com/SaberModKang

I haven't been able to do much on it lately as I've had my hands full with personal projects and matters.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rudjgaard:
I know thank you, but i'm working with mr1

Edit: I managed to solve the neighbouring cell info error by deleting the "hide" tag, i think the problem was that i forgot gedit with the java file open in background so it wouldn't apply the changes :S

But I still get the enforce policy selinux and enforce mmac error in DeviceAdminInfo.java...I compared with other sources I built without problems and the file has no differences in line 411...

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Demonseye:
If not for my Smartwatch 2's support (Bluetooth 4.0 LE is a big plus for me) , I'd definitely go back to SM. It had these little features and this snapiness that isn't found everywhere. (Even if though Purity is kinda close, but SaberMod was and will be the very best.)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheNerd:]:
I'm an extremely minimalist person. I have 4 apps installed. I don't run Google now and always have location and NFC off. Oh I hate haptic feedback too. I had the best battery/performance with Sm/matrix 10.0 Ran me a month and a half, longer than any other ROM for me. Extremely excited for 4.4 on the Nexus 4

You were the best ROM maker in 4.2.2 and you made sm4.9 the fastest toolchain in the whole ROM community. Your work is so good that hundreds of developers still use your toolchain....

Again thank you for continuing to develop for our nexus 4. I hope you have fun in the nexus 5 forum!!!

Hi, not really. I only have a little time a day to work on the kernel then have to let people test it for at least a few days.
